Hot! BMW @ CES 2015

[EnI]

Not by any stretch of the imagination is an M Performance model an "M product". Utter marketing claptrap, and I own an M Performance model.

M Performance models eg. M135i, M235i, M550d, X5/X6 M50d are considered as M models by BMW marketing & sales dept., and they are marketed as such (as a part of M program). The M Performance vehicle sales are also included in the total M GmbH annual sales figures. So ... that's how it is. Don't shoot the messenger.

Which is what I've just said. It's marketing nonsense. Sticking an M badge on the boot and saying it's "tweaked" by M does not make it an M product. Period. Just because BMW would like people to think it is, it doesn't make it true.

Not only current and new 7 interior in one pic here we have also the current interior combined with a freestanding screen.

Holy crap I didn't even notice

What's the size of the screen, looks to be pulled out straight off a G11

Another pic of a current model, in this case a F11, combined with the next generation of iDrive for testing purposes.

One comment to the article above at bimmertoday.de was the question referred to the size of the screen. The answer in another comment was 12,3 inch. I don't know if this size were already posted anywhere or if this size is really correct.
Maybe anybody can confirm the size or has further information to this point.
